Default X - Virtual screen too big for memory

I am setting up a very old computer for audio recording purposes. Unfortunately, get the following error when running X:

There is no xorg.conf on the system.

How can I fix this problem?

Default

I recommend generating an xorg.conf file, and then using either xinit or startx to start X.. you probably shouldn't execute X directly like that.

# Xorg -configure; mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

After you have at a basic configuration file, you may want to use a smaller video mode.. 4MB of video memory is very little to work with.
